Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Country Dance Tue to 24 Apr

The Place Theatre, London WC1

Installation artist and composer Graeme Miller joins with Matthew Hawkins, outre choreographer and much else besides, in Country Dance, a Place Production for its Spring Loaded season. If your idea of entertainment is Morris dancing or hunt balls, take care: Country Dance paints the opposite of rural picturesqueness. It promises the charm of city spaces, full of din and drizzle, but its tribe of urbanites will summon up fragments of a former English folk-dance language to invent a new street-wise social dance. Fumbling and colliding, raucous and stuttering, they will exorcise the beasts of the inner city and evoke its angels. They invite you to a pagan, urban and convivial celebration, using music and speech, as well as dance.

Graeme Miller, The Place Theatre, 17 Duke's Road, London WC1 (0171-387 0031) 20-24 April
